1 This estimate is based on the following 

calculation: 5 hours (estimated hours per 

application to prepare the marked copies) + 2 hour 

(estimated hours per application to explain, notate, 

and certify) = 7 hours. 

2 This estimate is based on the following 

calculation: 5 (estimated hours per application to 

prepare the marked copies) × $484 (hourly rate for 

an in-house counsel) = $2,420; 2 (estimated hours 

per application to explain, notate, and certify) × 

$484 (hourly rate for an in-house counsel) = $968; 

$2,420 (estimated cost per application to prepare 

the marked copies) + $968 (estimated cost per 

application to explain, notate, and certify) = $3,388; 

the hourly wages data is from the Securities 

Industry Financial Markets Association’s 

Management & Professional Earnings in the 

Securities Industry 2013, modified by Commission 

Staff to account for an 1,800-hour work-year and 

inflation, and multiplied by 5.35 (professionals) to 

account for bonuses, firm size, employee benefits, 

and overhead, suggests that the cost for in-house 

counsel is $484 per hour. 

3 This estimate is based on the following 

calculations: [5 (estimated hours per application to 

prepare the marked copies) + 2 (estimated hours per 

application to explain, notate, and certify)] × 32 

(estimated number of applications under expedited 

review) × 0.20 (approximate percentage of 

applications prepared by in-house counsel) = 44.8 

(rounded up to 50). 

4 This estimate is based on the following 

calculation: 50 (estimated total hours utilizing inhouse counsel) × $484 (hourly rate for an in-house 

counsel) = $24,200. 

5 This estimate is based on the following 

calculation: 116 (estimated number of all 

applications) ¥32 (estimated number of 

applications under expedited review) = 84. 

6 This estimate is based on the following 

calculation: 2 (estimated hours to prepare ‘‘in 

writing’’ response) × $484 (hourly rate for an inhouse counsel) = $968. 

7 This estimate is based on the following 

calculations: 2 (estimated hours to prepare ‘‘in 

writing’’ response) × 84 (estimated number of 

applications under standard review) × 0.10 

(approximate percentage of application required to 

respond ‘‘in writing’’) × 0.20 (approximate 

percentage of applications prepared by in-house 

counsel) = 3.36.

Proposed Collection; Comment 

Request; Extension: Rule 0–5 

Upon Written Request, Copies Available 

From: Securities and Exchange 

Commission, Office of FOIA Services, 

100 F Street NE, Washington, DC 

20549–2736 

Notice is hereby given that pursuant 

to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 

(44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Securities 

and Exchange Commission (the 

‘‘Commission’’) is soliciting comments 

on the collection of information 

summarized below. The Commission 

plans to submit this collection of 

information to the Office of 

Management and Budget for extension 

and approval. 

Rule 0–5 (17 CFR 270.0–5) under the 

Investment Company Act (the ‘‘Act’’) 

(15 U.S.C. 80a et seq.) entitled 

‘‘Procedure with Respect to 

Applications and Other Matters,’’) sets 

forth procedure for applications seeking 

orders for exemptions or other relief 

under the Investment Company Act. 

Rule 0–5(e) requires applicants seeking 

expedited review to include certain 

information with the application. Rule 

0–5(e)(1) requires that the cover page of 

the application include a notation 

prominently stating ‘‘EXPEDITED 

REVIEW REQUESTED UNDER 17 CFR 

270.0–5(d).’’ Rule 0–5(e)(2) requires 

applicants to submit exhibits with 

marked copies of the application 

showing changes from the final versions 

of two precedent applications identified 

as substantially identical. Rule 0–5(e)(3) 

requires an accompanying cover letter, 

signed, on behalf of the applicant, by 

the person executing the application (i) 

identifying two substantially identical 

applications and explaining why the 

applicant chose those particular 

applications, and if more recent 

applications of the same type have been 

approved, why the applications chosen, 

rather than the more recent 

applications, are appropriate; and (ii) 

certifying that that the applicant 

believes the application meets the 

requirements of rule 0–5(d) and that the 

marked copies required by rule 0–5(e)(2) 

are complete and accurate. 

Rule 0–5(g) provides that, if an 

applicant has not responded in writing 

to a request for clarification or 

modification of an application filed 

under standard review within 120 days 

after the request, the application will be 

deemed withdrawn. As an oral response 

would not stop an application from 

being deemed withdrawn, rule 0–5(g), 

requires applicants to respond ‘‘in 

writing’’ and therefore create an 

additional cost within the meaning of 

the PRA. 

The information collected under rule 

0–5(g) and (e) is intended to provide an 

expedited review procedure for certain 

applications and establish an internal 

timeframe for review of applications 

outside of the expedited procedure. The 

rule is meant to provide relief as 

efficiently and timely as possible, while 

also ensuring that applications continue 

to be carefully analyzed consistent with 

the relevant statutory standards. 

Applicants for orders under the Act 

can include investment companies and 

affiliated persons of investment 

companies. Applicants file applications 

as they deem necessary. The 

Commission receives approximately 116 

applications per year under the Act, and 

of the 116 applications, we estimate to 

receive approximately 32 applications 

seeking expedited review under the Act. 

Although each application is typically 

submitted on behalf of multiple entities, 

the entities in the vast majority of cases 

are related companies and are treated as 

a single applicant for purposes of this 

analysis. Each application subject to 

rules 0–5(e) and 0–5(g) does not impose 

any ongoing obligations or burdens on 

the part of an applicant. 

Much of the work of preparing an 

application is performed by outside 

counsel. Based on conversations with 

applicants and Staff experience, 

approximately 20 percent of 

applications are prepared by in-house 

counsel. 

The mandatory requirements under 

rule 0–5(e) increase the estimated hour 

or cost burden for applicants utilizing 

in-house counsel by 7 hours 1 or $3,388 2

per application. Therefore, the 

mandatory requirements under rule 0– 

5(e) increase the total estimated annual 

hour burden by approximately 50 hours 

utilizing in-house counsel.3 The total 

estimated annual cost burden for 

utilizing in-house counsel is $24,200.4

We estimate to receive approximately 

84 applications 5 per year seeking 

standard review under the Act and of 

the 84 applications, we estimate that in 

approximately 10 percent of those, the 

applicants respond ‘‘in writing’’ to 

avoid the application being deemed 

withdrawn pursuant to rule 0–5(g). We 

believe the ‘‘in writing’’ requirement 

under rule 0–5(g) increases the burden 

for applicants utilizing in-house counsel 

by 2 hours or $968 per application.6

Therefore, the ‘‘in writing’’ requirement 

under rule 0–5(g) increases the total 

estimated annual hour burden by 

approximately 3.36 hours utilizing inhouse counsel.7 The total estimated
